Julia Ecklar - Crimson & Crystal lyrics

rate me

Crimson and crystal deck her shadowed halls

In incense and teardrops her voice gently calls

But in that silent kingdom the sun never shines

For she's locked it away in the fortress of time

Her eyes they are hollow like deep empty pools

And her touch is like ice that makes mortal blood cool

Her existence is longing, she is waiting for me

My sweet lady Death will soon set me free

For in mansions of shadow she wanders each night

But she's ever alone outside time's patterned flight

As she lays down beside each new lover she takes

She whispers their names and they never awake

Crimson and crystal deck her shadowed halls

And the time soon is coming when we'll all be called

To lie down in the silence of her crystal sleep

And she'll watch us and guard us in her crimson keep
